苹果iPhone4昨日风光问世。除了更轻薄的工业设计外,其挑战人类视网膜极限的屏幕更是主要卖点之一。然而,空有高解析的营幕显示并不够,如何在这么高解析的画面中提供顺畅、精致的影像,甚至是执行没有延迟的3D游戏才是关键。而对于达成这项需求,Imagination很有一套。

Imagination在3D影像方面已有长期的经验与技术,能够支持OpenGL等标准,同时也提供丰富的API支持,能够对应Linux、Android、MeeGo、Palm WebOS、Symbian和

新的iPhone4与iPad相同,都是使用苹果自行开发的A4处理器,这也是其进行图像处理与3D运算的主要核心。对于A4的技术架构,苹果一直非常保密,但外界普遍猜测是使用ARM的Cortex-A8或A9多核处理器,至于图像处理器的部份则可能是ARM的Mali,或者Imagination的POWERVR绘图处理核心。不过,苹果在去年6月时,对Imagination的持股已大幅提升至9.5%,其目的何在,其实早已不言而喻。

对此,Imagination的PR总监David Harold表示,Imagination的POWERVR图像处理器的确被运用在iPhone4上,也就是A4核心中,但具体的型号则不方便透露。他指出,未来的智能型手机对图像处理的需求非常庞大,下一代的手机影像性能甚至将高出目前的10倍左右,包含3D游戏和影片等,都会成主流的手机应用。而Imagination在3D影像方面已有长期的经验与技术,能够支持OpenGL、OpenGL ES、OpenVG和CL等标准,同时也提供丰富的API支持,能够对应Linux、Android、MeeGo、Palm WebOS、Symbian和微软Microsoft等平台。

而在今日的台湾记者会上,Imagination除了展示一系列的技术应用外,也宣布推出可供嵌入式与行动装置使用的POWERVR SGX544高性能绘图核心。该核心为POWERVR Series5XT系列产品家族的第二个成员,可以搭载高性能四管线的单核心,或介于二至十六个核心(八至六十四管线)的多重处理器设计,并完全支持微软Microsoft DirectX 9。

Imagination营销副总裁Tony King-Smith表示,SGX544是以过去成功的MP多重处理器技术为基础,并有五家授权客户厂商。GX544还支持桌上型desktop OpenGL 2.1、OpenGL ES 1.1与2.0、OpenVG 1.1和OpenCL 1.1 Embedded Profile等标准,并通过了严苛的Khronos与Microsoft兼容测试,可确保快速上市的业务要求,并适用于各式嵌入式与桌上型操作系统中。

Imagination Technologies为处理器IP供货商,可运用在绘图、影像、多媒体、多线程的嵌入式处理器/ DSP中,以及多标准的通讯应用。目前台湾包含硅统、联发科及瑞昱都是其授权客户。

iPhone 5 傳6月6日現身

美國最大無線電信營運商威瑞森無線公司(Verizon Wireless)才開始販售CDMA版iPhone 4,業界就已盛傳蘋果將在6月初發表iPhone 5,分析師直指時間就在6月6日。

 

AppleBitch部落格上月率先披露,蘋果預定6月5日至9日在舊金山Moscone中心舉行的「企業會議」時發表新版iPhone。蘋果自2003年起一直在該地舉行全球開發商大會(WWDC),過去三年來WWDC都在6月第一周舉行,且都在會議的第一個周一發表新版iPhone,因此有分析師推估6月6日可能是iPhone 5問世之日。

 

蘋果過去四年來都在WWDC會議結束後的數周內讓iPhone上市,其中有三次上市時間為6月,只有2008年是在7月11日供應iPhone 3G。

 

不過AppleBitch說,蘋果也預定在5月10至11日、以及6月22至23日在 Moscone中心舉行「企業會議」,這兩個時間也可能是推出iPhone 5甚至是iPad 2的日子。蘋果過去大多在3月或4月宣布WWDC的日期。

 

蘋果以前每年夏天推出新一代iPhone,今年消費者都在討論,iPhone 5將維持長久以來由AT&T獨賣的GSM系統,還是會增加類似本周威瑞森將正式銷售的CDMA系統。

 

部分業界人士揣測,新一代iPhone可能採用與全球各地GSM和CDMA系統都相容的高通(Qualcomm)全球電話晶片。

 

因拆解蘋果產品而聲名大噪的科技網站iFixit披露,威瑞森銷售的CDMA版iPhone 4,已修正先前收訊不良的天線設計,且採用的晶片則來自高通,而非英飛凌(Infineon)。威瑞森已在3日開放預購iPhone 4,結束AT&T獨家銷售三年半的局面,10日起並將在威瑞森、蘋果商店以及百思買(Best Buy)、沃爾碼(WalMart)等實體商店開賣,售價199.99美元

 

分析師看好威瑞森加入iPhone銷售行列後將帶動蘋果銷售成長。Needham公司說,蘋果目前在全球智慧手機市占率為16%,預估將因此增加5個百分點,該公司並以iPhone和iPad銷售強勁為由調升蘋果股票目標價,從每股375美元上修至450美元。

Nikon Patent Could Lead to DSLR Moviemaking Dream Lens

Nikon Patent Could Lead to DSLR Moviemaking Dream LensSo you got a nice new DSLR for Christmas, and it can take impressive HD video too! That said, you'll probably notice that simultaneous zooming and refocusing is less than ideal. A new Nikon lens patent aims to fix that.

While such a lens is unsurprising, given the incredible interest in DSLR filmmaking these days, it is nevertheless very welcome (should it see the light of day).

Should the lens land in prosumers' hands, they can expect an experience that will involve a single lens that can zoom by hand (manual mode) or automatically in its movie/video-making mode. Again, such a lens is not surprising in the least, but it's still great to see Nikon R&D putting design to paper. [Egami via Nikon Rumors via Engadget]

Toshiba building new factory to churn out iPhone LCDs, says Nikkei

Word on the street -- and by that we mean a Nikkei Business Daily report -- is that Toshiba's dropping a cool 100 billion yen (around $1.2 billion in US currencies) for a new factory in the Ishikawa prefecture, Japan. Its raison d'être? Low-temperature polysilicon LCD panels, primarily for the iPhone (no indication on which version; Apple is said to be investing in a portion of the factory, as well). Construction begins early next year and production is apparently slated to commence in the second half. More than enough time to stockpile unicorn tears for the assembly line.

memory + Wi-Fi = Eye-Fi

http://www.eye.fi/how-it-works/basics

Eye-Fi View Quickly Shares Full-Resolution Photos With All Your Devices

In a hurry to share the full-resolution versions of your photos with several web-connected devices? Eye-Fi has a solution. Turns out that the company behind the wireless memory cards we know and love has a clever new photo-sharing service.

Basically all you'll do is log on to the Eye-Fi site and view your uploaded photos. You'll have the ability to share photos or albums with trusted contacts and to create download links. There's no charge for sharing photos uploaded to the site within a seven day window, but anything beyond that will require you to upgrade to a $50/year premium service.

VIEW AND SHARE DIGITAL MEMORIES ANYWHERE, ANYTIME WITH EYE-FI VIEW

New System and Email Feature Let People Quickly Show Off and Share Content on Multiple Devices

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., October 27, 2010 - Eye-Fi Inc. (www.eye.fi), best known as makers of the world's first wireless memory card, today launched Eye-Fi View, giving consumers a new way to access their photos and videos from virtually any computer or mobile device. Along with Eye-Fi View, Eye-Fi also introduced a new email-sharing feature, allowing direct, private sharing of full-resolution images without clogging inboxes or requiring viewers to login.

"When we released the first Eye-Fi card three years ago, we solved the fundamental problem of getting pictures off the camera and onto computers and online sharing sites. As we enter the biggest photo-sharing season of the year – Halloween to Christmas – we're delivering an even easier way for people to view and share photos from any device, with more control than ever," said Jef Holove, President and CEO of Eye-Fi. "Photos and videos of the kids trick-or-treating can be easily emailed to grandma and shown off on dad's iPad"

When it comes to photography, viewing the images is the point, and more devices – from netbooks to smartphones to tablets – create more ways consumers want to view and show their memories. With Eye-Fi View, this content is now accessible from virtually any Internet connected device and can be viewed and shared at home, at the office, or on the road.

Whether selecting certain photos to share on public sites like Facebook or Flickr, or privately sharing several images or full albums with trusted email contacts, Eye-Fi makes it easy. By simply logging into their Eye-Fi account from any device, users can view photos, publish them on the web, or share them via email.

"There are many sites on which pictures and videos can be shared. But even in this age of social media, email remains the most popular method of sharing among consumers," added Holove. "With our unique approach to email sharing, Eye-Fi is extending its ease of use capabilities to customers who want to email their photos. Because, put simply, photos are created to view."

With Eye-Fi's email feature, users select contacts from their own address book, and recipients – whether Eye-Fi users or not – can easily download full-resolution images through a single link, without worrying about overwhelming their inbox.

Pricing and Availability

With the latest Eye-Fi Center release, Eye-Fi X2 card users can automatically send content to their Eye-Fi View. Access to content uploaded within the last seven days is always free. Upgrade to Eye-Fi Premium to maintain access to an unlimited amount of content for only $4.99 a month or $49.99 a year. All Eye-Fi users can take advantage of the new email sharing feature.

Eye-Fi products are now available at Wal-Mart stores nationwide. Wal-Mart is the latest national retailer to feature Eye-Fi, following the addition of Target earlier this year. Availability beyond electronics and photography outlets underscores the expanding consumer demand for Eye-Fi's unique solution. Additionally, Eye-Fi's international users can now subscribe to all Eye-Fi services including Eye-Fi Premium. For more information, visit www.eye.fi.

The World's Smallest Full HD Display

The World's Smallest Full HD Display

The iPhone 4's Retina Display is 3.5 inches, with a resolution of 960x640 and a pixel density of 326ppi. Pretty much everyone agrees it looks great. So how incredible must ORTUS's new 4.8-inch, 1,920×1080, 458ppi display look?

ORTUS, a collaborative venture between Casio and Toppan Printing, announced the Hyper Amorphous Silicon TFT (HAST) display today in Japan. The company claims it's up to 30% brighter than other TFT displays, capable of producing 16.8 million colors and has a viewing angle of 160 degrees.

But if the Retina Display, as Apple claims, is pushing up against the threshold for the human eye, is ORTUS's added pixel density really that important? I'm reserving judgment until I can watch Dark Knight on the thing. [CrunchGear]

seiko active-matrix epd watches offer 300dpi display

I’ve always got my eyes peeled for unique watches for you guys, and this is definitely one of the cooler high-tech timepieces I’ve seen in a while.

seiko_SDGA001_SDGA003_epd_watches

Seiko Japan’s new SDGA001, SDGA002 and SDGA003 watches feature the world’s first active matrix electrophoretic display (EPD). This display technology is similar to what you might find in a high-end e-reader, capable of producing sharp, 300 dot-per-inch images with a 180-degree viewing angle.

seiko_SDGA001_epd_watch

Thanks to the ultra high-res display, the watches can display time in a variety of fonts and on-screen styles – my personal favorite being the deck of cards style:

seiko_SDGA001_SDGA003_watch_fonts

The watches offer a 32-city world time capability, and can automatically be synchronized via radio signal. Each one comes in a sturdy stainless steel case, with a durable sapphire crystal. Battery power is recharged through an integral solar panel, offering about 30 months of display time on a full charge. There’s also LED illumination for viewing the time in darkened rooms.

Prices for the watches range from ¥94,500 to ¥105,000 (appx. $1127 to $1253 USD), so unless you’re loaded, you’re going to want to wait for the 2nd or 3rd generation versions before you start cashing your dollars for yen.
